Dear Ms. Henney,

I wish to voice my disapproval for the yogurt manufacturers' requests for a revised yogurt standard of identity. First of all, I oppose the unlabelled use of any GM ingredients. Secondly, as the manufacture of yogurt is a fermentation process and not necessarily predicated on the specific ingredients used, I oppose the move to require manufacturers of soy-based yogurt to stop using the term "yogurt." Last of all, I oppose the move to no longer require listing specific sweeteners in the list of ingredients.

Thank you for considering my opinion on this issue.

Dr. Allen Page
